Who We Are

Born Free believes that every individual animal matters. Inspired by the Academy Award®-winning film Born Free, we work to end wild animal cruelty and suffering and protect threatened wildlife. Not only does our conservation work occur in communities, classrooms, courtrooms, and the halls of Congress, we also operate the largest primate sanctuary in the United States.

We Are Born Free

Since 1984, Born Free has been working tirelessly to ensure that all wild animals, whether living in captivity or in the wild, are treated with compassion and respect. In 2002, Born Free USA was launched in the United States to bring that vision to the American Public. We work across the world to preserve and protect wildlife and keep wildlife in the wild!
